.ncss Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to aharness attachment to be suspended from the throat- ,latch of a horses bridle and to support rings to serve as guides for the driving-reins.

In the drawings, A indicatesa pair of rings of about the size and character usually employed on martingales; B, a brace reaching from ring to ring, the distance between the two rings from center to center being about six inches; O, a loop projecting upwardly from the center of the brace, the plane ofthis loop being at right angles to the plane of the two rings; D, the usual driving-reins, and E the usual throat-latch.

- of the check-reins and a central loop in the same plane as the end eyes for engaging a gighook, and I disclaim such devices.
